The article does a bad job explaining why this subpoena is different from a regular subpoena. The "warrentless subpoena" bit is really misleading.
However it does look like this is different from the normal subpoena process. This doesn't seem to be part of discovery - there is no action. The referenced "Section 14-137 of the New York City Administrative Code" seems to basically grant the NYPD commissioner powers a judge usually has. So there is something to worry about.
